ETHICS MONITOR RESULTS

The Ethics Monitor results provide valuable insight into an organisation’s ethical status. The results offer a useful and accurate guide as to what action can or should be taken, whether remedial to address a problem, cautionary to address a potential problem or proactive to build on a perceived strength.

In order to realise the benefits of these insights, it is imperative that the organisation acts on the survey results.

The survey results:

Produce a measure of the company’s overall ethical status, which can be used by the social and ethics committee to report to the company’s board and at the AGM, and which can be shared with shareholders, stakeholders and the market;

Produce a measure of the ethical status of each branch, department, work level and stakeholder group;

Reveal which areas in the organisation are ethically strongest, so that these strengths can be grown and expanded further in the organisation;

Reveal what areas in the organisation are ethically weakest and need to be investigated further or that warrant action;

Highlight the degree of the organisation’s ethical strengths and weaknesses, to enable the company to identify and prioritize the actions to be taken.
